Deepseek V4.1 Flash is 748B, not 552B

People keep on getting confused about this, so I looked at the safetensors on hf. To be precise, the main model about 551.566B parameters with 40 layers. The FFN experts total to 543.582B parameters, and the rest of the model (attention, shared experts, etc) are 7.984B. Huggingface lists the model as 485B, but that's because they're counting some FP4 packed weights as bytes instead of params (2 FP4 params per byte). On top of that, the engram is ~196.929B, DSpark/MTP is ~14.225B, and the vision encoder is just ~0.485B. These parts are technically optional though. The vision encoder is also way smaller than I expected. Anyways, you need a beefy system for this. 128GB or 256GB of RAM/VRAM is not going to cut it. submitted by /u/DistanceSolar1449 [link] [comments]
